one regular paper plate
one craft stick
craft feathers in natural colors like browns and whites

1 sheet of brown or black felt

Tools Needed to Make a Cheap Owl Mask for a Toddler Costume

paint or crayons (depends on the age group and ability)
one glue stick
scissors - the child-friendly kind
one piece of chalk
crayons or paint

Prepare the Materials for the Owl Mask for Kids

1. Adults should cut out the eye holes for kids. Even older kids, who may be great with scissors may have a hard time cutting through the sturdy paper plate. Cut out two eye holes.

Note: if it is too difficult to cut the eyes out, you can skip that part. The mask will be held by a stick anyway, so the eyes are just for fun and don't need to be real eye holes.

2. Cut a pyramid shape out of the bottom of the paper plate. This will leave room for a child's nose and mouth.

This next step can be done by older kids. Adults should help smaller children.

3. Place the square of felt on the table. Cover it with the mask. Use the chalk to mark where the eyes go.

Next, cut the eye holes out of the felt.

4. Glue the felt to the plate. Cut off the excess felt.

5. Glue the craft stick to the back of the owl mask.

6. Cut out two circles from construction paper to make dramatic owl eyes. Cut out the centers.

7. Cut out a pyramid for the nose.

Decorate the Owl Mask

Cut two circles out of another paper plate. Decorate them with crayons or paints

Cut out the middle of the circles, to make the eyes. Glue these circles over the eyes. The hole in the circles should be placed on top of the eyes in the plate.

Let the feathered fun begin.
